Interesting that K State moved up one. If they’ve lost Ayoka Lee for the season, I’m not sure they should even be a ranked team anymore. That’s how huge a loss that would be. But I guess we’ll have to wait for the next poll to see how the writers react to this development.

KState moved up becausie voters want the Big 12 to get one team in the top two seeds. If Lee is really out, their voters will go to TCU

Lol I see you're back with your pet theory again. I can assure you, this factor was as much on the voters' minds as the average temperature on Mars. Unless of course you were one of the voters, in which case it was on the mind of one voter.

K State moved up one spot as a result of Ohio State moving down. As they say in Spanish, no hay que buscarle cinco pies al gato.

The voters and the AP poll have no control over seeding.

KSt moved up because voters are lazy and stick with win-move up/lose-move down ranking.

Did someone say pie?
Why does the cat have 5 pies and will she share them? What kind are they?

If this were the committee rankings, we might get this bracket:

1 ucla v 15 Okla / 7 tex - 10 kan st
4 usc v 13 UNC / 6 ct v 11 ky

2 scar v 14 Duke / 8 Md v 9 tcu
3 nd v 16 wv / 5 lsu v 12 Ohiost

To me there are only two questions. First will UConn be a 2 seed or lower? and secondly which of the 1 seeds would want to be in their bracket? I do think if UConn win out (beat South Carolina) they will end up in the top 4, if not I don't see an argument that gets them there. UConn still seems to be a work in progress which is fine but the end of the season isn't too far away.

Even if UConn wins out, it needs someone above to falter. Losses @ ND and vs USC at home mean it would be extra hard to jump those two.

W @ Tn / L @ SC -- probably a low 2 seed (eg 7-8), depending on margin in SC game.
2 or more losses -- 3 seed or lower

The only faltering I can picture would be USC losing to tOSU. I mean, they could lose once or even twice to UCLA (3x?) and it still might not knock them off the top line for the tournament. But a loss to tOSU would have to weigh against them. And if it did, there's no guarantee LSU or Texas might not sneak in.

Next to this, all that stands out as a possibility is ND losing to Duke and NC State, and I'm not going to hold my breath on that.

Yeah, even beating SC is not likely to get UConn to the top line.
